A magic lantern slide circa 1900. Religious slides . Legend has it that at some point on the monks' journey back to Chester le-Street with the body of St Cuthbert, the cart carrying the coffin suddenly stopped and could not be moved. The leader of the community, Bishop Aldhun, had a vision of St Cuthbert demanding to be taken to a place called 'Dunholme,' but nobody knew where it was. The puzzled monks stood perplexed at how to find 'Dunholme'. Then a cow girl walked by, and asked another young woman if she had seen a lost dun (brown) cow. The young woman said she had seen the cow heading in the direction of Dunholme and pointed out the way. The monks, who had overheard this exchange, decided to follow the cow-girl, and found that St Cuthbert's coffin moved readily in that direction. They continued along that road and got to Dunholme (Durham).
